Awesome show last night
Thank you sir!
I can’t stop listening to these guys. Great job with this one Jesse!
did shane really do that guitar solo? anyway, great video, great song, great album. do you have any more videos like this for your other songs? cuz if so, release that shit
Fantastic group! I’d prefer a little more bass, especially when the whole band is playing. But fantastic mix and group 🙂
Found you through Reddit /r Philadelphia, and I have to say, you’re really talented!
good song, and great recording, maybe turn up the bass in the mix a bit more.
I’ve used tape, folded damp paper towels, and I definitely like moongels best. While the ringing of a drum and reverb both do have sustain to them, adding reverb to a dampened drum doesn’t sound anything like the sustain of undampened drums. On snare I do tend to dampen ring a bit more as the snare sound is so often repeated in a song, and sometimes use more reverb on snare than the rest of the kit, but it just depends on the song. The drummer here had pretty undampened, wonderfully tuned drums.
I mean the drums themselves (moongels, tape, etc). Some people like to add more reverb and cut the sustain and overtones, especially more on snare. I guess you can eq out any undesired overtones, I was asking because I like the way the drums sound and was curious how you got your sound.
Again thanks so much, I get cut down on here by anonymous Youtube folks more often than complimented, it’s always nice to get such kind words. I do hope I get to work with Mo Lowda again and more amazing bands like them. You’re local to me, if you meet bands who need recording feel free to pass my info on, I’m always looking for great new bands to work with!
No kidding, I’m about ten minutes from Villanova! Thanks so much for the compliments, I really appreciate it. No problem with questions, I’m happy to help. The drums had an RE20 on kick, SM57 on snare, MD421s on toms. Neumann KM84s on overheads, MXL 991 under snare. With muting the drums, do you mean gating the mics? Or the drums themselves? I like tuning drums to be very even and ring, and then using a moon gel on them if the ringing is too much/too sustained. Depends on the music though!
Forgot to mention: I stumbled across your ad while looking for vintage recording equipment on Craigslist. Good luck with it man, you deserve it! This recording is unbelievable.
I’m a Villanova college student. Awesome mix job and an amazing band. I wish all of you the best. People with actual talent like you and these guys are the people who deserve to make more money than any of these mainstream shmucks (with a FEW exceptions).
How did you record these drums? What mics on the toms and the snare (under it?)? They sound EXCELLENT. Also, do you recommend using muting on the drums? Sorry for the interrogation, I’m looking for a couple of tips for my own home studio.
That’s awesome!
great job!
Wow!
fucks with this great song to be perked out listening to soothing
I LOVE the quality
GREAT!
